Bitparking PPCoin Pool [closed]

protip: open a second instance of cgminer for BTC.. run BTC at intensity 3 and PPC at intensity 11... when PPC is up you'll only get a few mhash devoted to BTC.. but when ppc is down you'lll get 85% hash rate on BTC

Great idea, thank you. What I ended up doing was starting up a local ppcoin server and putting into cgminer as a second pool in load balance mode. So in theory I'll solo mine if coinotron is down. In theory...

Speaking of which, can I have pools for multiple SHA-256 coins in cgminer at the same time? I'm guessing the longpool/stratum notifications would mess that up. Like say, if I added a PPC and a TRC pool, if it'd individually work on the work units assigned without any weird issues.

doublec, did you roll your own front end/back end or were you using existing packages? May I ask which one(s)?

Thanks.

Edit: If you enjoy running the pool and doing the front end part of things, you might consider this payment system:

Zero out of pocket/risk to you.

It is my own front end and back end. The back end is written in the ATS programming language and the front end in the Ur/Web programming language. Thanks for the payment point I'll take a look.

Man, so many new languages I've never even heard of, lol. I'm obsolete. Everything I ever did was in C, C++, PHP, or Perl. Touch of Java. Never learned any Python.

I like how your system doesn't use a password, just links to a hash you can't change. The Eligius guys take it a step further and your payment hash is your username, no pw or accounts.

I'm a bit of a programming language nut. The pool was originally written because I wanted to try out the language runtimes and see how well they worked.

I used to do what Eligius does too, back when 'mmpool' wasn't merge mining but was a namecoin pool. When I switched to merge mining I had to somehow associate multiple addresses with a user. When I did the ppcoin pool I used the same pool code after I'd done the user modification thinking that sometime in the future I'd enable merge mining with ppcoin as the primary chain but I couldn't get that working.
